Ben Stone is terrified. He's terrified because he weighs 601 pounds
and needs his right leg amputating. He's terrified because a crane
will shortly lift him from his fourth-floor flat and lower him 44 feet
to an ambulance waiting below. He's terrified because he hasn't been
outside in nine years and he doesn't know who will look after his
beautiful dog.
He needn't worry though, because the world is about to end.
This week's book is Before and After by Andrew Shanahan and we'll be meeting at Ye Olde Cocke on Wilmslow Road in Didsbury — contact us for details.
